It's good to see the PM and President acknowledging the state's contribution. The people of Himachal have served in the armed forces with great bravery. Jai Hind!
While the greetings are nice, I hope the central and state governments also focus on the practical issues. The state needs better infrastructure and support after the recent floods. Wishes should translate into action.
As someone who visited Shimla and Manali last year, I can say Himachal is magical. The warmth of the people there is as amazing as the mountains. Happy Statehood Day!
Heartwarming to see this unity. From the Land of Gods to the entire nation, we progress together. CM Sukhu's vision for a green and self-reliant Himachal is commendable. Best wishes!
My nani is from Himachal. The culture and traditions are so rich. Glad the President mentioned the spiritual traditions. It's a vital part of our Indian heritage. 🙏
